To win a WSOP bracelet is for many the greatest achievement that can be reached in an entire poker career. Of course there are a few who think that a WSOP bracelet is piece of junk when others have so many bracelets that they even decide to sell 1 of them (I'm referring to Patrik Antonius and T.J. Cloutier).
Anyhow, someone who's really longing for his very first bracelet this year is Tom "[...] Read more » WSOP 2010: A bracelet worth 2 million dollars

There's been real contradiction these days about what a bracelet's worth for. Patrick Antonius set the record edgy the other day giving it no credit at all, while others swear in it and would be willing to give everything just to get a hold of one... As much as I understand the spirit of Antonius' sayings, the bottom line is that bracelets are a part of the poker hype and add prestige to the events

I'm with the "he won't get it" side. If anything, playing at the 1500 event will probably make him arrogant and he may even play worse than in the big events
Even if there's 2 extra millions dollar to win if he wins a bracelet this year, I'm still convinced he'll not win it. Come on, MTTs is not Tom's specialty...
I see Tom winning a MTTs with at least 500 entrants in only 3 years.

Hello everybody! It's true his game is really not made for tournaments. In addition to the wsop it may fall on more than donk himself. See you soon for new posts lol!
I think he will be able to win one of it, not in the main event maybe but he will win. I watched him playing at tables and it's very funny to see his eyes lost around when he goes all in

If ever Dwan wins it would be as much a moral vicotry as it is a financial one. It would prove once and for all that all new bloods, have good all around skills at poker, it would also mean that his arsenal is more complete than everyone suspects and that he has the discipline to win at live poker even tho he is used to fast online games.

He's not gonna get it. Even if there was 10M$ for him to make, he'd still not make it. He's a good poker player, but we all know that it's not his cup of tea! He can make it one day, but he's gonna need a lot of luck to do that.

He has really won 50 million with that style of play? WOW! I doubt he will win a mtt but he may just change his whole style of play just to shut the other pro's up. Time will tell.
